Vol 3 Chapter 53: general election

Chapter 53
This thing goes back to 1998. Before that, m was only a second-rate record company, even if some good singers and groups have been launched. (_ 彩 & 虹 & 文 & 学) {Rainbow Literature Network m} But when Britney and Christina were born, they suddenly became noticeable and became a place that many young singers yearned for, so in 1998 One day of the year, the 21-year-old Allen who should have formed a band with a few friends as a guitarist and arranged most of the lyrics? Kemi joined m as an intern.
After almost six months of internship, because of the good performance, he became a regular employee, and participated in the production of several albums by Britney and Christina, and then began to write songs, and his first song was " whereverull ". To be precise, it should be the prototype of "Whereverull". Norton felt good after listening to it. It happened that Adrian was trying to find a way for Avril's new song, so he recommended it.
Although some of the melody and lyrics are not quite the same as the original, it still easily evoked Adrian's memories of "whereverull". This song was also widely circulated at the beginning. If it is not the band's popularity is not high enough, no Good record companies operate so much that they start playing charts almost two years after release, and the results won't be so bad.
Naturally, Adrian bought the song, and Norton and Kemi also perfected it with his suggestions. The final product is almost the same as the original, but because it was prepared for Avril, some lyrics have been modified. In order to better match the identity of female singers. Kemi, who has been recognized by Adrian, has stayed at m safely. As for theng ... Anyway, the "blood debt" in Adrian's hands is not just that, don't worry too much.
The song was ready at the end of 1999, but for various reasons-mainly Avril's birthday-was delayed until the end of September this year. It doesn't matter, anyway, the song is already in your hands. Whenever you want to record and release, you will record and release.
Although Avril wants to make her debut work by Adrian and Norton, she still likes this song, especially the chorus.
"This feeling is really great, I like the feeling of shouting!" The girl said to Adrian so excitedly more than once during the recording.
Regardless of past or present life, she has a characteristic of singing, that is, she likes to roar with full vigor when singing the chorus, and the kind of roaring venting feeling can easily evoke the resonance of the audience. This is her advantage and her disadvantage. The advantage is that such a passionate interpretation is very easy to attract young fans, and the disadvantage is that she always loses popularity if she does not change.
But don't worry, it's too early to that stage, she can sing happily in her own way without any fear, and slowly adjust it based on market feedback later, don't forget Adrian. If he is not relatively familiar with Avril's style, he would not have decided to use "whereverull" as her first single, and the facts have proved that his decision was correct. The girl and the song fit very well. Breaked into the top ten of "Bulletin Board" p100.
This is a great achievement now. You must know that with Christina's new album released early last month, the top ten of "P100" became her and Britney's world. Will Adrian turn Nora? Some of Jones ’famous songs were
appropriated
to her, plus some good songs that can be recalled that are similar to her style, as well as tailored by the music team behind them. Christina also released this year ’s new album. Popular.
Of course, she is still not as good as Britney in terms of sales and popularity. So far, Britney ’s new album has sold 25 million copies worldwide, and sales of over 30 million are just around the corner. Out of the East Asian market, despite the relatively late release time, Christina's new album sales have just passed the 10 million mark.
Anyway, the two were very competitive on p100. Adrian decided to make all of Britney's songs to the top of the "Billboard" chart, and racked his brains to collect so many good ones. , Naturally will not allow failure. In fact, except for those three light rock songs that can only wait for the top of the same type of charts, the other seven songs have gone through the top of the p100 once, while the songs prepared for Christina are not so classic, but They also all have a very high quality, and after a little operation, this is the situation now: the top ten of the "P100" of Bulletin Board were occupied by Britney and Christina for a long time in seven or eight positions.
Even in the last week of the previous month, the top ten were all occupied, with Britney occupying six and Christina occupying four, which aroused many people in the music industry. Many music critics have expressed their opinions, some of them are purely analyzing music, some are analyzing two female singers, and some people suspect that the data is falsified. After all, M Records, or Universal Music now, has the same parent company.
However, in the last case, Adrian had anticipated this, so the data was made as transparent as possible, and other people have also increased public relations efforts-this is not outside the rules-so it is not a mistake to pick. So easy.
In short, this summer, Britney and Christina have become the two most dazzling female singers in the music industry. Their competition on various platforms has always been a topic of tabloids and the public, and their fans have also Maintain idols and talk badly on different occasions. The happiest is Pepsi and Coca-Cola. According to data, their beverage sales have increased to varying degrees during the summer vacation, especially Pepsi. It is really cost-effective to spend 8 million to invite Britney to be the spokesperson.
Other than that, Eric? Norton is also very happy that with the results of these two albums, the new position of artistic director of Universal Music is no other than him.
Although Britney and Christina have reached the point where they don't say hello to each other in the record company, the scale of competition is still in a certain range and so on. When talking about each other in various programs, they will praise or recall In the days of the Mickey Mouse Club, when she was attending a certain occasion, she would also make an intimate look, without seeing any flaws. Women were born to act.
Of course, this situation will not happen in bed, especially when playing crazy, the two women never stop overwhelming each other.
Well, it's off topic. In the two months or so that Britney and Christina dominated the top ten of the p100, other singers either avoided it or were uncompetitive. Even if it was easy to enter the top ten, at most only It can reach the seventh place, but now the first single released by a newcomer has broken this limit in a short time, and achieved the fifth place in the top ten. How can it not be encouraged?
Of course, in the eyes of experienced singers and music producers, this is not good news. The newcomer is the same record company as Britney and Christina.
Avril doesn't care about this. For the first single to achieve such good results, she has no other response except for joy and excitement. Finally, she reminded of the party celebration only under the reminder of Christine, but also So the place was placed in Stewart's house, where he had been staying.
"I think you should have a bar or something outside, don't you feel a little overcrowded and troublesome here?" Adrian, who wouldn't give up the opportunity, asked Avril when he came over.
The girl is dressed up today with great taste, because the singles scored very well, so the prepared mv plan will soon be on the agenda. It was natural to use various designs for her. So she now has long hair, wearing short-sleeved t-shirts, denim trousers and canvas shoes, and painted a moderate eye shadow.
But answering Adrian is not Avril, and only ten-year-old Christine? Stuart.
"I can think of you as thinking that our house is very small and shabby and unsuitable for parties?" Kristin? Stuart made a lazy look with his hands on his hips, but with a short haircut and a neutral dress, some bad teenagers felt very interesting.
"Of course not. I just think it's your home. It wouldn't be appropriate if it was damaged or soiled," Adrian waved immediately.
"It doesn't matter, not many people come anyway." Avril started a round.
"Okay, okay, let's talk about another topic-Kristen, if you dress up like this in the future, beware that no one will marry you." Adrian Haha laughed.
"Leed!" Avril couldn't help raising her voice.
"No more, no more," Adrian raised his hands in Kristin's stare, and patted the girl's arm. "Congratulations, Wei Niu, pretty good, the enthusiasm can almost melt. Now. "
"Thank you." Avril smiled rarely, and then coughed at the thought of something.
Adrian didn't seem to notice this, but continued to say: "I already have a draft of the second single. As long as I communicate with Eric, I believe that the first draft can be completed soon. I think this The song is just for you. If you still get good results this time, you can prepare your first album. "
"Really?" Avril looked surprised.
"I think I still have this credit." Adrian raised an eyebrow and pretended to be displeased.
"No, I'm just ..." The girl gestured in a panic, trying to explain.
"Okay, I'm just kidding," Adrian Haha laughed. "But there are two things I want to remind you, Wei Niu, first of all, have time to practice the piano more, the second single requires you to play it yourself Secondly, get ready to write a song. The first album should have your own handwritten song anyway. "
Although Avril's face paled when she heard that she was going to practice piano, the following sentence made her happy again: "No problem!"
"Don't you say the good news?" Adrian blinked.
Avril immediately made a face: "This is it."
After speaking, he pulled Christine and ran away, and Christine also came, "Goodbye, leed."
You can tell from the smirk expression that most of her guessed that this was not a good name. Adrian shrugged and didn't take her to heart, but Avril ... Although it was only a moment ago, he could see the cramping flashes on his face. This kind of performance has been present since the last trip to Napani. Adrian can probably guess Avril's mind, but for this girl who is famous for her character, even if she can capture the mind of the other party, it will be difficult to convert it into Advantage.
Adrian never ignores something because she has a good relationship with her. Especially after last year's lesson, Avril is not Kate or Sarah. Although she has weaknesses and flaws, she is still very selfish in character. Do n’t look at her in Adrian was very lively in front of him and thought that it was all she had. During the training, she had no disputes with the teacher.
It was also that Adrian was very appetite for her at the beginning, and she personally came to visit and invite, otherwise it would be almost impossible for her to treat herself like this.
But it doesn't matter, there is always time, and there are memories of previous lives for reference. Adrian believes that the world will not have problems that cannot be solved.
This is what happened in September, and not long after entering October, a difficult problem came to him.
"Suspected of monopoly?" Adrian raised an eyebrow at Claude's introduction.
"That's right, the alleged monopoly requires a series of scrutiny of this transaction." Crowder sighed.
"Damn it, why didn't they base Time Warner on this investigation?" Adrian complained, though this was expected to happen.
"Because at & tadband reaches 38 states and Warner does not." Claude replied briefly, then added: "But Warner is on our side this time."
"That's for sure." Adrian waved his hand. What if he didn't stand by them, and if someone would use the same excuse to deal with Warner in the future?
From this point, it is very wise to abandon Comcast and choose at & tadband. If the two companies are acquired at the same time, it will undoubtedly be blocked by antitrust regulators. As a group with no history, here In this case, it is easy to be attacked by groups.
"Is there a deadline for review?" Adrian asked immediately.
"No, not even the informal review deadline." Crowder spread his hands, and Adrian frowned, which was not good news.
In the middle of last month, Hasbro eventually failed to escape their clutches and became a member of the media. Then, after almost half a month, Claude formally applied for at & tadband. This move shocked many people. Once they just completed the acquisition of Hasbro, they immediately aimed at super goals that toy companies can't match. Second, most practitioners in the media industry know what at & tadband means.
"They are too risky, and I don't think the acquisition of at & tadband is a wise choice." Murdoch said in an interview about the action of the media.
Although Lei Shidong did not make a clear statement, in private there was a small stream of news that he complained to the lower ones: the two boys in the media were too arrogant.
In short, most people are not optimistic about this acquisition case. Although the media has always been very wealthy, the acquisition of tbs and acquisition of the world seems to have never worried about the funds, and they have also created a lot of miracles and have always been operating well The loss report displayed in the first quarter of the first half of the year showed that people knew what was going on at a glance, but some things were not so easy to handle, and the subsequent suspension seemed to prove their opinion.
"Even Redstone is slightly biased towards others," Claude explained. "Although he is always looking forward to us, he always hopes that we can develop steadily. So if there is a serious setback, he will be polite. Revealing his minions in the first instance. In addition, Comcast seems to be a little bit eager to fight with us for the ownership of at & tadband. "
"So, are we all now?" Adrian suddenly laughed.
"I hate Chinese." Crowder rolled his eyes.
"The translation is called" egedonalldes ", I think it is very vivid." Adrian said without any hassle.
"The siege of the parties? It's a real image." Claude pondered his head and thought. "No one wants us to get at & tadband, even Warner, who is on our side."
"What does dear Mr. McDonald say?" Adrian asked suddenly.
"What else can you say, old fox, Mr. Garcia, the situation is still unknown, and the two senators will not make a clear statement." Claude shrugged again.
Under U.S. law, there are two senators in each state, EbookFREE.me, and now both California senators have accepted major media contributions. Generally speaking, investing in a senator is more cost-effective than investing in a president. Senators have a longer term, are relatively easy to re-election, and have relatively little power. Each major group has its own spokesperson in Congress.
However, senators will not accept political contributions from a group alone, not because the law sets a limit on political contributions-it is too easy to circumvent them-but because of their own political future, They can sell themselves for a good price, and they are completely tied to a certain group of senators, but the senators are so few, so it is not surprising to get such an answer.
"What do you think of this year's election, Crow?" Adrien suddenly asked with his finger on the armrest twice.
"Election?" Crowder raised an eyebrow. "The specific situation is to check the information, and the election day has not yet arrived. The situation is not so clear, but Gore is not in the states of New Mexico, Colorado and other traditional Republican ticket warehouses. Dominance, but Bush Jr. has certain advantages in Oregon, Idaho and other states. "
"Maybe ..." Adrian leaned slowly on his chin. "You can send a personal representative, in private ... to meet with Bush."
